Re: Trekking with Z1 APAP at high altitude 7 nights on battery $875, 5.85 pounds
97F045C6-2A11-4A62-BAD3-779B282C0A06.jpeg I tested a battery overnight at home and it worked well. Then I went camping in the Santa Cruz mountains and it lasted through a 3 hour nap and a 12 hour night at 9 cm H2O, so basically 2 nights. Yes, we were exceptionally lazy after climbing a mountain all...

Re: Trekking with Z1 APAP at high altitude 7 nights on battery $875, 5.85 pounds
Hmmmm... on a first attempt the meter powers up and says 12.66 volts but the meter shuts down/the Z1 doesn’t come on when I plug it in. Think I’ll have to test/redo the connection between the voltage regulator and the CPAP...

Re: DC Travel CPAP/Battery for One Week Trek
@CapnLoki I'm getting a travel CPAP that can use DC power, so I haven't decided which one. Something light and cost effective. My pressure is 11cm. Thanks for the link!
@Hopeful50 Which Maxoak? How heavy?

DC Travel CPAP/Battery for One Week Trek
Note: Solar panels are not likely to work in the Highlands of Scotland so I'm ok with carrying two light batteries and limiting use to 6 hours a night. What is the best setup (travel CPAP, battery(s), DC adaptor) for a weeklong trek where I use a DC CPAP on a battery each night? There are so many op...

Re: Add oxygen to CPAP on my own?
Maybe I'll try another full face. What do you recommend?

Re: Add oxygen to CPAP on my own?
I still don't feel well rested after sleeping. I don't know how much of this is from leaks. I have a ton of leaks but no apnea/hypopneas.

Re: Add oxygen to CPAP on my own?
I aspirate about once a week. Full face masks feel like death when this happens.

Re: Add oxygen to CPAP on my own?
Mask leaks are getting better... he showed me how to get it on right. Mouth leak is the biggest unresolved issue. I've tried taping, but it goes straight into my belly which is amusing but not altogether fun. I tried a mouth guard and that sort of worked. I've tried chin straps, including a custom m...

Re: Add oxygen to CPAP on my own?
So, I ended up getting oximetry levels and even a home halter monitor reading while sleeping and while having an episode and it was all normal most of the time (aside from my pulse hitting 130). But once my oxygen levels crashed while standing in the kitchen... it hit 43 and I almost hit the floor. ...

Re: Add oxygen to CPAP on my own?
Oxygen saturation didn't go below 94. Guess I don't need oxygen.
I do have a lot of apnea/hypopnia some nights. Will keep monitoring and hold off on oxygen.

Re: Add oxygen to CPAP on my own?
I know what my O2 is. It drops when I have apneas from leakage, but not below 90.
